Is This Really You America?

I've been watching "SJW Cringe" videos and I'm shocked. Is US university campus really like this? Has it gone all weak and weird? Where you
don't need an intelligent argument you just need a loud voice and a strange style of dress?

It's just unique situations caught on camera right?

If it's not unique then TPTB have won, the students are dumbed down and freedom of speech has vanished.

Any students on here who can give me some more details on campus life?

This sounds neanderthal but you wouldn't have lasted a minute if you went to uni in the UK when I did. Of course, you could be wacky and wonderful
but this strange new being which is emerging is astonishing. Loud, brash and stupid.

I'm not sure if I'm going to delete this or post it, it's probably going to cause offence. Bugger it.

I won't link videos, there's hundreds out there. What freaks me is that the UK generally follows the trends of America... Are UK students going to
end up quad sexual too? Ah bugger, that last line might have killed it for me.

From what I gather and from comments made by members who are actually in US Colleges and Universities, it really is a "thing" but...............the
vast majority just kind of laugh it off and walk on by. Be aware as well that a lot of the student interaction videos on Youtube are staged; there's
not a lot of truth left anywhere on the internet these days.

There is that, but after watching far too many Inspector Morse shows of late, I'd have to ask..........is Oxford really a indication of anything other
than the bubble world of Oxford? I mean it like this; if you were an English person seeking a career in robotics, would you even consider attending
Oxford? Who's got the time or the money to waste studying at Oxford; it seems to focus on the arts and literature and history and such none of which
pays particularly well or goes to Mars.

I think the students at Oxford will be symptomatic of UK students generally, and will be politically correct to the same degree. I was there
myself (on a student grant), and often found myself very much the minority in a very left-wing environment. In the other thread, I mentioned how the
students of the 70's, when they were starting to set up the local Students' Union, tried to assert a moral claim to the building owned by the Oxford
Union debating society, because the owners were "not a real student union".

Incidentally, it isn't just about degrees in the Arts. I shared a flat for a year with two mathematicians and a physicist.

Most students are getting on with the business of studying, ducking deadlines and partying.

I'm genuinely glad that young students have a chance to be extremely idealistic. It's how it should always be. Real life trims the fat off their
dreams and they eventually land on Planet Earth with as small a bump as possible.

It's great that they refuse to buy Nestle products and have periods of veganism. Staying up in the early hours to talk about all the wrongs of the
world and how to change them is the prerogative of youth. I hope the day never arrives when uni students succumb to whatever the status quo says.

If you think about it, ATS is a place where older idealists come to talk. Most of us promote ideas that mainstream society doesn't support.

It's funny how you people constantly talk about how sensitive "SJWs" are yet you all cry and complain just as much if not more so...

After watching these videos I find the better looking feminists really sexy. So that's a positive.

In the college bars I frequent; It's been my experience that feminist aren't attracted to crybabies. In fact most women find the men with the
propensity to whine and complain about things "mama's boys" just my opinion....
